We agree and find that the rules under 73.622(f)(4) are outdated and should be amended. We note that stations may use section 73.622(f)(8) to increase their power above 200 kW. Sections 73.625(b)(2) and 73.625(c)(1) address how beamtilting can be used. Through the use of these rules, the effect of 73.622(f)(4) can be accomplished without the 1 dB penalty.

The coverage for each DTS transmitter is determined based on the F(50,90) field strength given in the Table of Distances, calculated in accordance with Section 73.625(b). The combined coverage of a DTS station is the logical union of the coverage of all DTS transmitters. We recognize, and agree with commenters, that in circumstances where transmitters are placed inside but near the edge of a station's authorized service area, it may be technically difficult to ensure that signals from that transmitter will not carry beyond the station's

We also observe that the provisions governing transmission of television signals in Sections 73.682(a)(14) and 73.625(c) of the rules specify that it shall be standard to employ horizontal polarization. The ERP of a television station is therefore considered to be that of its horizontally polarized component.

We are today permitting stations to commence service with facilities that meet the minimum requirements set forth in Section 73.625(a)(1) of our rules. By December 31, 2004, commercial stations must meet the increased city-grade signal strength requirements we imposed in the Report and Order. Noncommercial stations have until December 31, 2005 to meet this city-grade service obligation. At the same time, on our own motion, we will allow television stations subject to the May 1, 2002 and May 1, 2003
